For those of you who love K9, and keep telling people to abandon DVDShrink and DVD Decryptor try to backup The Cave, The Fog or Lord of War and tell me how it went. You might just convince me then.

Hey guys,

You do know that DVDShrink is available for linux dont you? You do not need to use wine to run it!

Just download the Linux version!

Ok, I have downloaded K9COPY
It looks more like dvdshrink, one click and you are allset, but it keeps freezing...

Xdvdshrink, seems to be working, but it doesn't give me the one click option.....For example I want to burn a dvd9-to-dvd5 that has multiple title, it just want to do one title only.

Any idea how to solve this?



Any Ideas about LDVD?

You can download DVDshrink for linux from many places. Here is one of them.

I installed K9Copy 1.0.4 it kept freezing on my FC4 machine, now I found 1.0.4-2 from http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=687, I installed it

I love this K9Copy is more of an approach to dvdshrink than x-dvdshrink

x-dvdshrink is cool too, a little more options, but a little complicated also...

Hey. I found a solution to this problem:
Insert your encrypted DVD, start any DVD-video player software (such as xine) and play the DVD
This seems to open the DVD's encryption and you should be able to read the same DVD with Windows DVDshrink via wine without any hassle. (Don't forget to stop the playback before starting DVDshrink for windows with wine)

You have todo this for each DVD that you insert that is encrypted.

This works for me, as I have the same problem.

(I'll test DVDshrink for linux and see how it works, thanks for the news!)

No one tried the dvdshrink rpm?

Hey guys I just stumbled across this thread and noticed I could be of some use.

Use k9copy it is a Linux version of dvd shrink or just install the dvd shrink tar file available from source, however I strongly recomend k9copy but be sure to get "k9copy 1.0.4-lp_2-2" as all earlier versions were packed with bugs. all seems to be solved now.

Cheers

Does it crack the ArcoOs protection? What about RipGuard and the others?

To my knowledge it only cracks css and macrovision, however it may very well crack the others...
give it a shot.

K9Copy does exactly what DVDShink does.

It's quite poinless to run windows progs under linux, kind of defeats the whole purpose of using Linux. Under Windows DVDShrink is the program I swear by, and K9Copy meets all the standards of it.

For DVD's that K9 wont decrypt, use dvdbackup first, then compress it to with K9.

Has worked for me under Ubuntu 6.06.1 & 6.10, Fedora Core4, FreeBSD 6.10, Gentoo 2006, and SuSE 10.

It even worked for The DaVinci Code, which is the first disk in a while DVDShrink would'nt even do.

If you think that DVDShrink is the end all and be all of the Windows DVD copy, then you are not really knowledgeable of copying DVDs. DVDShrink will not copy ArcoOs generations 1,2 or 3. Nor will it copy Rip Guard or a whole host of other copy protections.

Most if not all Linux programs are useless when it comes to new copy protections. And if they do work, they are only good for AVI or DivX instead of the VOB (mpeg) format used by DVD players.

DVDShrink, DVD Decryptor are outdated even under windows.

If anyone knows of a Native Linux program or set of tools that will defeat Rip Guard, ArcoOs 1,2,and 3 please tell us.

dd will clone anything.

So how would you make a copy of a DVD? dd if=/dev/dvd of=? ....etc....
How exactly would that command look in order to copy a regular DVD for backup purposes?
